We’ve curated a collection of objects and furniture to inspire your next dinner party.
When hosting a dinner party, there is more to consider than just the menu; first, you must set the scene. The list of objects and furniture that can culminate in a successful soirée is infinite, so we’ve narrowed it down to nine of our design favourites.
This leather and steel chair by Italian furniture brand MDF Italia makes for a comfortable seat at the table, encouraging conversations to last long into the evening.
If you love hosting dinner parties, then it’s reasonable to assume you also love wine. This sophisticated storage cabinet by Australian furniture brand Zuster will store your wine bottles in style – up to 70 of them.
Belgian furniture and homewares brand Serax are a go-to for formal occasions. Their range of tableware, cookware, glassware and cutlery is comprehensive and targeted toward the design-inclined; this hand-painted plate is just one example.
Written by Paolo Baccia and published by Thames & Hudson, Italian Street Food takes you behind the piazzas, down the back streets and into the tiny bars and cafes to bring you traditional, local recipes that are rarely seen outside of Italy.
Scented candles and dinner parties are like bread and butter. This one is from Milan-based perfume house Rhizome and contains notes of cedar and leather, balanced by gentle labdanum and vanilla.
A sculptural, mouth-blown glass vase for the centre of the table, designed by Marie Christine Dorner for French furniture company Lignet Roset. The vases can be interlocked in three soft colours to create one compact group.
